Godspeed You

The sand slips through your hand Like some Egyptian goddess of time And the stars all glimmer like gold And we can never grow old in this land Godspeed you, the life which we knew But it's over now When all hope's lost and bent on the horizon I'll still cherish life anyhow In this pleasure dome among the endless dunes We can disappear But without you the trees cannot bear fruit And the sun would sink down Godspeed you, the life which we knew But it's over now When all hope's lost bent and on the horizon I'll still cherish life anyhow I know I'm lost But please let me be lost here forever
